THE HL1 THE WO 0Z> DIFFICULTY. u [n .Arrest of the Parties Concerned?Peace JO> Restored?A True Account of the Un? fortunate Affair. V. Rumors were flying thick and fast n on the streets Tuesday morning of a bloodv affray that was about to take is place at Blythewood. The rumors es were seemingly confirmed when the 0? Judge received a telegram from that eg place requesting the Sheriff and as a posse be sent to preserve the peace. ^ His Honor immediately directed the Sheriff to summon the posse and go to n- Blythewood and at the same time es wired the intendant to preserve the " ~ Vvn r?r> r?/I C WllA O'Af i hlfi II2 p L'ilUC (Ht Cii I IT UV Q Vt< \u*v & telegram is not known, for we learn ae that Blythewoed doesn't indulge in to such a luxury, nor has she done so for r- three years. When the Sheriff and as posse arrived on the scene there was ;h no sign of a pitched battle as had been ree. ported, but nevertheless the exciteid ment ran high. In order to get at the ,s- exact truth a reporter of this paper id went to Blythewood aud got the folo lowingfacts: is Thomas HofFman, a young man y. about twenty-one years old, had been [e paying 'marked attentions to Miss ie Hattie Hoeau, the seventeen-year-old ig daughter of Capt. J. D. Ilogan. The is young couple became engaged and to were to be married. On the 13th to January, the youug lady became a e- mother. Hoffman proved unfaithful, and left for parts unknown. Capt. jjm Hogan left shortly after him and traveled three thousand miles in search of him, but returned and remained *r quiet uutil lately. ie He called upon Mr. Chas. G. Hoffc" man and told him that he was responsible for the conduct ot his brother Tom. This, Mr. Hoffman denied, and ir" some very hot words passed but no blows. Everything was then quiet '= until Monday* On that day Capt. Holl~ gan cowhided Jas. C. Hoffman, whom Capt. Hogan heard had made damage<^ ing statements about his lamily. Ac3e cording to Mr. Hoffman, he was riding _er along the road when the Capt. stepped Lr* ontand with a shotgun ordered him to P" stop. With the gun still drawn he savs the Captain pulled a horsewhip leu v>?e -vr>o<- on/l ofi-nr-ir him several 11V/U1 U1C MI*4M WW? ... ne times. In reference to this Capt. id. Hogan says he whipped him thorougher ly on the streets of- Blythewood, and *n told him he was going to do so before !nt he commenced. Jack Hoffman was ;n? also reported to Hogan as having made im some insulting remarks about Hogan's on family. In company with W. W. ^r* Cloud, Capt. Hogan went to hunt him C(* and found him five miles out. He uo called him out and told him what' his business was and proceeded to whip him in fronf of Mr. Mars Cooper's 19 House. Capt. Hogan says Hoffman ?ut made no resistance, but begged pite - 1 * n ia- ously. ilotimau, on tne otner iiauu, ,nd insists that he was terroi'ized by Cloud's as Winchester rifle, but notwithstanding on this he says he told Capt, Hogan in lis very plain language what he thought nts of him. The Hoffman brothers natuted rally feeling aggrieved at the treatde-1 ment they had received, prepared lor i wur. They accordingly armed thcmjht j seives wi h shot-guns and patroled the es. j road in frout of Capt. Hogan's house ! waiting for him to come out. Capt. hac r Hogan was not at home and the i - >1 ^-rV Tnftnf frv r?Annt ! iiii- : yrutiicio lu^u i&uj ??vut iv "vj/v., mJ , laid aside their "runs and remained na-: about the streets. ise. ; In a published report Mr. Green ! Gibson states that Capt. Hogau and vs. i W. W. Cloud were about to tackle 2ld. j him for some of his remarks, but that for { he told Hogan to pitch in, 'Til be the >ted j last mau you'll whip/' Capt, Hogan i f J $ J V ? BTBTWL ?! <- Ml. Bl .H llJILJ'J. emphatically denies this, and says, moreover that what Gibson might say ivnril/? hp nf nr. rtnn<wrn tn him. Our readers will have to form their own judgment in this matter. The Sheriff foand no nse for his posse. He placed Chas. G. and Butler Hoffman under arrest and they were brought to "Winnsboro, where they gave bond to appear before the grand jury. The Sheriff and two deputies remained and arrested W. TV. Cloud and Jack Hoffman, who were also brought to "Winnsboro. They all appeared before the grand jury and I were all bound over to keep the peace, including Capt. Hogan, who came up on Monday morning of his own accord. But for the prompt interposition of the law there would have no doubt been bloodshed. All the parties concerned are of the highest respectability, and this unhappy affair will be deeply regretted. "We have thus given both sides of the affair, but leave all to form their own judgment. DOTS FR03L MOSTICJSLTjO.

The Long Run school opens on next Monday. It will be conducted by Mfss Leila Melton, daughter of our esteemed minister. The weather for the past week has been quite like spring and the farmershave gone to work in earnest. Miss Mamie Lyles, of Union, is visiting relatives in our neighborhood. Mrs. C. B.

The farmers are making every edge ' cat by way of pushing their work ahead considering the small amount of good weather they have to plough in. The guano and mule purchase is far ahead of anything of the kind for sev-" eral years. I hope they may not prove disastrous, but I fear if there should be a short crop made and a low price for cotton, the sheriff or some good auctioneer will reach a bonanza next fall. 1 have just learned of the attempted abduction of a child which happened aoout ItlU 1USI. U1 UIC uiuuil. i.ub case, as I have it, is as follows: It happened at Mrs. Tidwell's. Sbe had gone into the field to attend to the sewing of some oats. With her some of her children had gone leaving a daughter about fourteen years old and some smaller children at the house, including her youngest child, about two years of age. Her daughter, while in the kitchen, heard some one halloo and came out to sec who it was. When sbe reached the corner of the house what should she see but a negro man starting off with the child, having its head under his arm, and thfe child choked so that it could not make any noise. She became very much frightened, but put on a bold facc and ordered him to put the child down, but tie only iaugneu sx ner auu ran iur tut: woods. After going some distance along the road he was closely pursued that he took into a very thick piece of woods and had gone about a quarter of a mile when she approached close to him. He turned and laughed at her, and when threatened by the young lady that if he did not release the child she would shoot him, at the same time making a demonstration as if to "* ? * t - J u... ? draw a pi?toi irom Iiuuer iier ajwuu, the negro ineu threw the child down against a log mid van off. When it was picked up it was speechless and remained so for some time. After returning to the house he made his appearance in the edge of the woods. Another negro man was just passing by when he was called and shown the man. He then ran. No one knew him and there is still 110 clue to him. MOSSY DALE. Don't let that cold of yours run on.

As your Lougtown correspondent in January seemed to ignore all farming iuterests, that subject should be first ,vith me, however little can be said at this early season. A large acreage has been planted in spring oats. I hear that our friend Mr. J. D. Harrison had twelve plows putting in this crop a few days ago. The fail grain is. looking well. I notice the fine appearance of Mr. L. T. Wilds' wheat and oats, both vigorous and arrowing: rapidly, because so well fertilized and put in ?like everything he does in the farming line, well done? and consequently successful By the way, his younger brother, Mr.Geo. Wilds, seems to be fast following suit. We have some enterprising young farmers in Longtown, one of the most successful of whom is Mr. Jno. P. Jones, who seems to take the lead in the introduction of improved farm implements. I must be excused for mentioning in this connexion the name of ore of our old men farmers but by no means old style, Mr. Jno. E. Robertson. Progress is the order of his I o-ninor in evervthinsr Dertaininjr to the (farm. Mr. Ii. is Tnient on adopting the intensive system in his individual V operations and no doubt will eujov eminent success in the near future. He took the lead iu the neighborhood in terracing1, and has just completed about three hundred acres. Our farmers have been busy the past fortnight in cleaning up for the 'plow and in composting fertilizers. They were decidedly inspirited by the fair crop of last year, and indulge strong hopes for the crop of 1888. Altogether,'farming is looking up here and we expect a~boom. Our stauBch and public spirited old citizen, Mr. Samuel MeCormick, gives us renewed expectations of securing the building of the Chester and Camden Railroad through uur midst. oeveial droves of mules passed through Longiown this winter; aecidedly the best of them driven by your townsman, Mr. Sitgreaves. A new Bapti&t chapel in upper Longtown has just been opened for Sunday-School and other services. Like all such good things, gotten up and paid for by a few energetic ladies ?hot suppers, etc., being the successful plan, an entertainment, charadees,' etc., is in prospect to complete the interior of th? building. Our neighbor, Mrs.. D. G. Robertson, is, I am glad to say, recovering from her Jong and severe attack of rheumatism, through the assiduous attention of onr excellent physician, Dr. S. S. Linder.

A'con^fderable amount of money i has been spent lately by the town officials in repairing- the roads and sidewalks, and in planting trees. This was money well spent, as one of the best ways to induce trade to come to a town is to have good roads leading to it and attractive streets. Business is still quite brisk. Two new store? have been opened since Christ mas?one by JMessrs.'Cloyd Bros, and the other by Mr. S. F. Cooper. There is a good back country to this place, and there is no reason why it should not become a town'indeed. The ladies of St. Stephens'' Church gave a very pleasant entertainment recently at the residence of Mr. W. J. Davis. Some of the most pleasing features of the evening were?tableaux under the efficient management of Mrs. Herbert Ruff, singing by Mrs. Inn A nnorvni?toj anrl nthprs n. "hran pie," refreshments, etc.; but the reading of a selection from the Budget by ilr. AV. S. Jones "brought down the house." Mr. Jones read the selection nicely, and when he came to exceedingly humorous passages (where there was a kind of hint at the ridiculous) he acted so cleverly both in expression and tone of voice that everybody, even to the older men, like Dr. Edmunds, "just brought their chins down on. their breasts and' let :er come." From a financial standpoint, also, the catertaiuuient was eminently a success, for there was no expense about it, and the receipts amounted to fifty dollars. A few days after the church show friend McDowell got up a dance. This was by'far the most pleasant and successful one of the season. The music was furnished by Jim Kennedy, a dancing-master from Columbia. "Senator Woodward, who had intended being present at the church show, but was disappointed, honored us with his nreseuce, and we were delighted to see the leader of '76 going smoothly through a quadrille or the lancers. He didn't have on the official dignity which so many officers try to wear, but came right in and took a hand, and by his social way made us all feel easy with him, as well as pleased to have him among us. The dance was at Mr. Harry Desportes' residence. Dr. Boyd, the School Commissioner4 visited our school some days ago. He made a very happy lit Lie address to the children, and then by a few practical questions g3ve thenr more In-j struction by far than they have received at any one time this session. He is certainly the right man in the right place. Ilis visft here helped the school a^reat deal, as the attendance has been better ever since, and both the children and the teacher have been doing better work. The Governor has appointed Mr. R. A. Meares-a trial justice for this district. The appointment is satisfactory to the people here, as Mr. Meares is a conscientious man, and is eminently well qualified, not only to fill that position, but any other. Mr. Edward Palmer will act as deputy for the present. For the enforcement of the law to be in the hands of two gentlemen like Messrs. Meares and Palmer will tend to give t&at respect for the law to the public mind which is essential to the happiness, peace and quiet of all communities. The law hereafter will not be dealt out according to likes and dislikes, but will be administered according to law, equity and good conscience. p. mum REPORT OF THE GRA1YZ> JURY, To His Honor I. D.
